Libyan media confirmed that Saif al-Islam Gaddafi was killed by four people near the city of Zintan in the west of the country.
The reports said he was killed by four individuals, though no further details were immediately available. Abdullah Othman, Saif al-Islam’s political adviser, confirmed the death in a brief post on Facebook, without specifying the circumstances or identifying those responsible.
His French lawyer, Marcel Ceccaldi, told the news agency AFP that the identity of the assailants remained unkown:
“For now, we don’t know” who was behind the killing, Ceccaldi said, adding that he was told by one of Seif al-Islam’s close associates about ten days ago “that there were problems with his security”.
Saif al-Islam Gaddafi’s political team issued an official statement mourning his death, saying arrangements were underway to recover his body.
Journalists are working on this developing story and will update as soon as more information is available.
